Chapter 274 Hualan is pregnant

After returning to Bianjing.

Hualan no longer went out so often. Apart from the necessary social engagements between the ladies, she stayed at home and made love with Yang Wenyuan.

After all, God will grant your wishes.

Early November.

A snowy day in winter.

The city of Bianjing is covered in silver.

The thick snow in front of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion had already been cleared by servants to make a passable path. With the sound of anxious horse hooves hitting the ground and a "whoosh", a carriage that was rushing through the snow and mud stopped.

"Hurry, hurry, go and help my wife!"

Amid a burst of urging, Changqing was seen coming out of the carriage first, supported closely by an old doctor.

This old doctor has superb medical skills and is also quite famous in gynecology. He has been to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion quite a few times before and is already familiar with the place.

However, although the medical fees were not reduced, the pulse was not a happy one each time.

So the old doctor has become accustomed to it.

It was only after a few months that the wife of Marquis Pingyang finally remembered this matter.

"Okay, okay, don't rush me."

The old doctor carried a medicine box on his back, wore thick winter clothes, and was led by Changqing, running all the way to the back house of the marquis's mansion.

"This time they look very similar!"

As they approached the last hanging flower gate, Chang Qing gave a solemn instruction:
"You have to look carefully!"

"You don't need to tell me that. I have my own judgment."

After hearing Changqing's "instructions", the old doctor just responded perfunctorily.

After all, I can't talk nonsense about the pregnancy matter. It all depends on the wife of Marquis Pingyang herself.

Of course, he still listened to some of Changqing's words.

Otherwise, if you are disappointed and your attitude is perfunctory, you might even be angered to heaven.

Thinking of this, the old doctor took a deep breath and pondered for a moment. Then he walked in quickly, panting slightly and shouted:

"I'm coming!"

As soon as he entered the house, the old doctor clearly felt a warm heat wave sweeping over his whole body, which was in sharp contrast to the ice and snow outside.

"As expected of the Yang family of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, the fire in this ground dragon is probably comparable to that in the palace."

The old doctor had a pleased look on his face.

As a well-known doctor outside the palace, he was also a frequent visitor to the homes of many high-ranking officials and nobles. But to be honest, there were not many families that still maintained their luxury and dignity like the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion.

Most of them are all show and no substance.

It's just a vanity project.

After a while, the old doctor finally adjusted himself, and then he raised his head slightly to take in everyone in the room.

"As expected, it was the same situation as before."

The young Marquis of Pingyang and his wife sat at the table, with only a maid guarding them.

He came here several times, and the scene was exactly the same each time. If the old doctor had not been sure that he was not senile, he would almost have thought that he was recalling the scenes of his past experiences in a dream.

There was a hint of approval in the old doctor's eyes.

'What a loving couple, they are always there for each other.'

"coming."

Seeing the old doctor coming, Yang Wenyuan nodded slightly, comforted Hualan in a gentle voice, and then asked the old doctor to take her pulse.

This old doctor is also very familiar with the job.

He immediately sat down across the table, put away the medicine box and pulse gauge, and began to take Hualan's pulse.

But after a while, obvious surprise appeared on the old doctor's face.

"This time it's really a happy pulse!"

This surprise came too suddenly, and the old doctor couldn't believe it for a moment.

He glanced at Hualan in surprise, then looked up at Yang Wenyuan, whose face looked slightly excited. He said "eh" softly, apologized, and took her pulse again.

After repeated confirmation, the old doctor finally believed that he was not hallucinating. The young wife of Marquis Pingyang in front of him was really pregnant!

"Congratulations, my Lord, and congratulations, my Lady!"

The old doctor immediately stopped and stood up, congratulating:
"Madam is pregnant, and the baby is almost full term!"

To be honest, if Hualan can't diagnose a happy pulse again, the old doctor will feel unworthy of the consultation fees he collects from her every time he visits her.

Fortunately, it was finally accomplished!
"well!"

Hualan has been behaving strangely these past few days, and the old ladies in the mansion all said that she might be pregnant. Yang Wenyuan also thought it was possible, so as soon as he had a day off today, he immediately asked Changqing to invite this "old acquaintance" to his home.

However, although he had expected it, Yang Wenyuan was still a little uneasy before he actually heard the news of pregnancy from the old doctor.

After all, this is the first time I have the personal feeling of being a father, this feeling...

How to put it, it’s like there is a piece of candy wrapped in tin foil in front of you, you don’t know whether it is sweet or sour, but out of instinct, you still want to grab it in your hand.

Hualan's twitching face suddenly blossomed with wintersweet, revealing an extremely happy expression.

The wealthy lady Hualan was so happy that she asked Cuichan to take the old doctor to collect the reward without Yang Wenyuan saying anything.

The house is warm as spring.

Yang Wenyuan sat back next to Hua Lan.

At this time, Hualan was lowering her head and gently stroking her abdomen. There was an intense joy in her pink eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

After Yang Wenyuan was pleasantly surprised, he suddenly felt a dull moment in his heart, or a kind of bewilderment at a loss, so he just made a joke out of habit:
"Finally, this kid has arrived."

Hearing this, Hua Lan raised her delicate head, used her bare hands to smooth the hair that was scattered on her forehead, and glared at Yang Wenyuan:
"What do you mean by 'I've finally waited for you'? Could it be that you actually disliked me in your heart?"

"No, no, ma'am, how could I do that!"

Yang Wenyuan waved his hands repeatedly. At present, Hualan was the great contributor to the family, so he had to flatter her.

It’s your own wife, just pamper her!
But I can't hide if I can't afford to offend you.

Cui Chan happened to be sending the old doctor out of the house and just entered the house, so Yang Wenyuan took the opportunity to change the subject and said:

"But did you send the doctor away?"

Cuichan nodded repeatedly.

"Have you taken the gift?" Yang Wenyuan asked again.

"Uh-huh!"

Yang Wenyuan pondered silently for a while, then looked up at Cuichan and said:
"But such a big happy event can't be given to others alone. Cuichan, go call Madam Li over now and ask her to think about giving a gift of money to all the servants in the mansion before dinner."

Let’s celebrate together!
After saying this, Yang Wenyuan turned to Hua Lan and asked for credit:

"Ma'am, what do you think?"

Seeing Yang Wenyuan start to act weird again, Hualan just gave him a nice coquettish roll of the eyes. But after thinking about it, she asked Yang Wenyuan again:
"How about giving me a share of my dowry?"

Hualan thought that it would be more festive for a man and a woman to be together.

Yang Wenyuan has no objection.

Who made his wife a rich, beautiful, fair-skinned, long-legged lady?
You are rich and beautiful, so everything you said is right!

"Do we need to send someone to tell the elders later?" Hua Lan leaned gently on Yang Wenyuan's shoulder, looking at the snow falling outside the window, her hands gently blocking her body, protecting her belly very tenderly. "It's natural."

Yang Wenyuan thought for a moment and said:

"My uncle has gone to the south to quell the Nung Rebellion. Only my aunt and Rujin are left at home. It's a good time to tell them the good news and make them happy. I will write a letter to my uncle in the evening."

"Oh, by the way, I also need to send a letter to my cousin in Lingzhou."

Yang Wenyuan thought for a moment and said:
"Well, we also need to notify Huangzhou's hometown."

Seeing Yang Wenyuan thinking it over seriously, Hua Lan was extremely happy to hear it, with a happy smile on her face like a child who had secretly eaten candy.

This is all the official's joy for himself.

After Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, Hua Lan suddenly had an idea and said:

"Why don't we take this opportunity to have Aunt and Sister Rujin move back to the mansion to live for a while? Otherwise, I won't be able to rest assured that only Aunt and her daughter will be left at home."

Yang Wenyuan's eyes lit up immediately:
"Yes! Aunt is most concerned about the family's offspring. Now that you are pregnant, you can use this as an excuse to call her back."

Yang Wenyuan hadn't thought of this yet, but Hua Lan knew it in advance.

Having such a virtuous wife, life is blissful!

Thinking of this, Yang Wenyuan immediately decided to go to his aunt's house with Hualan to inform her of the good news, and at the same time bring his aunt and Yang Ruijin back.

"Then I will wait for you to tell Changbai tomorrow at 9 a.m.?"

Hua Lan watched Yang Wenyuan order the servants to prepare the carriage while she spoke:

"My mother loves me the most and has always been looking forward to it in her heart."

Yang Wenyuan thought about it and replied:
"Changqing is sending the old doctor home now. When he returns home, let someone inform him and ask him to go to the Sheng family to announce the good news."

There is a difference between closeness and distance.

Yang Wenyuan would go to his aunt's place in person as soon as possible, but he would not go to the Sheng family in person.

Sending Changqing over there is also a way I can do my best.

Hua Lan nodded.

Xingguofang.

Yang Yuqing's home.

The carriage carrying Yang Wenyuan and Hua Lan slowly swayed all the way to the gate of Yang Yuqing's mansion.

Yang Wenyuan, wearing a black cloak, and Hua Lan, wearing a red fox fur cape, got off the carriage and were immediately recognized by the servants in the mansion.

Not long after, a maid came out with two small hand warmers. After handing them to the two men respectively, she welcomed them in.

"Hey, why did you suddenly come to my house today?"

At this time, Madam Chen was teaching Yang Ruijin needlework in the hall. Although the specific date for Yang Ruijin and Changbai had not been set, the wedding was imminent, so Madam Chen naturally had to supervise it personally.

Yang Rujin is a lazy person.

If Madam Chen had not come to watch over her in person, she would not be afraid of the maids in the palace who would only be sneaky and cunning.

"Brother, sister-in-law!"

The moment Yang Ruijin saw Yang Wenyuan and Hualan enter the room, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, as if she had seen a savior who was about to save her from danger.

During this period of time, her mother exploited her too harshly, making Yang Ruijin miserable.

Ever since it snowed and it became difficult to go out, my mother kept me locked up at home most of the time, forcing me to do needlework and supervising me personally.

Oh my god, I can never finish embroidering this stitch!
Fortunately, a savior has arrived.

When Mrs. Chen was not paying attention, Yang Ruijin put down the needle and thread in her hands, slipped to Hualan's side, and held Hualan's soft hand tightly.

Mrs. Chen was so angry when she saw this scene.

However, she did not vent her anger on Hualan. Yang Rujin was thick-skinned and useless, so she directed her anger at Yang Wenyuan and said unhappily:

"It's freezing cold, what are you doing here?"

Yang Wenyuan didn't care at all about his aunt's unfriendly tone.

Beating is love, scolding is care.

Yang Wenyuan laughed softly, turned to look at Hua Lan and said:
"You tell me?"

Mrs. Chen looked puzzled. She thought that Yang Wenyuan had caused some trouble and was too embarrassed to say it, so she asked her wife to do it for her.

Therefore, Madam Chen followed Yang Wenyuan and looked at Hua Lan, saying with concern:

"Hua'er, what's going on? What's Wenyuan doing again?"

"Nope……"

Hua Lan blushed and glanced at Yang Rujin beside her, then she said slowly and softly:
"Aunt, I...I'm pregnant."

“Yes…yes?!”

Mrs. Chen's beautiful eyes immediately widened. She was obviously caught off guard by this shocking joy and was stunned for a moment.

"Ah? Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?" Yang Ruijin's head shrank and she looked at Hualan's belly cautiously.

When Yang Ruijin asked this, Hua Lan's crystal clear ears turned red, but she still replied in a low voice:
"Yes, I just consulted a doctor."

"Yes, yes, Hualan, this is such a great joy!"

Mrs. Chen finally came to her senses and kept praising Hua Lan, as if she was treating a triumphant general.

But soon, Mrs. Chen paused, turned her head and looked at Yang Wenyuan with an unfriendly look:
"What's wrong with you? Hualan just got pregnant. She should be recuperating at home, but you took her out?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Chen glanced outside again:
"Or when it snows?"

Yang Wenyuan opened his mouth, but facing Madam Chen's increasingly dangerous gaze, he decided to follow his heart and lowered his head to accept the lesson.

Hitting is kissing, scolding is loving!
Fortunately, Hua Lan was considerate and gently took Mrs. Chen's arm to help Yang Wenyuan out of the predicament:
"Aunt, I was the one who wanted to come here. My husband just couldn't persuade me, so he had to come with me."

"That's his fault too!"

Madam Chen glared at Yang Wenyuan again, then immediately performed a facial expression stunt and turned to Hua Lan with a pleasant expression:
"How long has it been?"

"The old doctor said it was full-term."

Mrs. Chen nodded and said:

"That old doctor's medical skills are pretty good. I asked him to come to my house to see me, and it didn't make any difference."

At this time, Mrs. Chen saw Yang Wenyuan making faces beside her and immediately said unhappily:

"What are you thinking about again?"

"Aunt, why don't you move back home? This is the first time for Hua'er and me, and we don't feel at ease without the elders to take care of us." Yang Wenyuan said with a wry smile.

Madam Chen glanced at Yang Wenyuan:
"Why, do you want me to be your wet nurse?"

"How dare my nephew?" Yang Wenyuan quickly shook his head.

Hua Lan also took the opportunity to say:

"Aunt, this was my idea too. I was a little worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about. Besides, aren't there many old ladies in the mansion?"

Mrs. Chen tried to comfort her, but seeing Hualan staring at her, and Yang Rujin and Yang Wenyuan looking pitiful, she could only sigh and said:

"Well, I'll pack up and go back home to stay for a while."

Yang Rujin immediately smiled happily, thinking that she could escape from the sea of ​​suffering. However, Mrs. Chen's next words made her freeze on the spot:

"Yang Rujin, don't think about anything good. When you return to the Marquis' Mansion, you still have to do your needlework. This time, not only will I be watching you, but your sister-in-law will also be watching you!"
